The Phoenix Suns will need a little extra help tonight from their bench.
PHOENIX — Just hours removed from tonight's 7:00 PM AZ time clash with the Milwaukee Bucks, the Phoenix Suns have downgraded two key players. Both Grayson Allen and Royce O'Neale are now out for Saturday night, according to the team's official injury report.
Allen was first ruled questionable yesterday with knee inflammation while O'Neale was doubtful on the Suns' injury report due to knee soreness. They now join all of Amir Coffey , Haywood Highsmith , Dillon Brooks and Mark Williams as players who are out tonight for Phoenix. The Suns are riding a four-game losing streak entering Saturday night's clash against Milwaukee, who will be without Giannis Antetokounmpo due to a hyperextended knee. The Bucks have also lost their last six-of-seven games entering the weekend. Phoenix should still be favored to win tonight, though the sledding won't exactly be easy with two of their top three-point threats out of the lineup.DONNIE DRUIN Donnie Druin is the Publisher for Arizona Cardinals and Phoenix Suns On SI.
